WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Bush administration is failing
to counter Islamist online propaganda that could propel
militancy into the next generation, experts say.

Speaking of Sony, amid all the hoo-hah yesterday about the new Walkman lineup, did anyone even notice the Bluetooth transmitter that was also slipped out between those candy-colored confections? That’s it hugging the end of the player in the pic for dear life (it can also be seen lurking at the foot of yesterday’s post).

The WLA-NWB1 is due out in Japan on Nov. 18 for around ¥6,000 (US$50) and is guaranteed to play nicely with the over-ear DR-BT30Q headphones, the pendant-style DR-BT20NX cans or the SRS-BTM30 Bluetooth Speakers announced at the same time yesterday. – Jonny Hiratsuka

Update: Tons more pictures over at AV Watch.

Sony’s SRS-BTM30 Bluetooth Speakers look like a pair of binoculars with the caps on, but don’t tell our beloved Commander-In-Chief. The two 48mm speakers inside are amplified with 3 watts of power for each one, and can play back 30-foot-distant sounds from any device supporting the Bluetooth A2DP profile. It’ll also connect with players using a mini stereo plug.

They’re a bit bigger than binoculars at 11 inches wide, but tell the prez they’re secret terrorist-spotting field glasses and he’ll probably want to take a peek. Available later this month in Japan, they’ll be £60. – Charlie White
